Nice little getaway

We only live an hour away but wanted to spend July 4th holiday near the water, by the pool, etc. The weather didn't cooperate this year and the city cancelled the fireworks at 10pm but we still had a great time. The pool area is nice, great view of the marina, nice bars with good food and drinks and views, rooms comfortable and clean. We noticed there were plenty of folks like us who were relatively local along with out of town guests. We all seemed to be enjoying all the amenities and nice service. They had to close the pool a few times due to lightning in the area but there is enough to do around there we just found other fun stuff to do til the pool opened againMore

We did our usual girl getaway and went to stay the night before the 4th of July. We were treated like movie stars at all times. The restaurant manager and service were amazing. We loved lounging around the pool, very family oriented and friendly guests, mostly locals. We will definitely go back.

Room Tip: When inquiring for a balcony, make sure you ask for the city view.

The Vinoy offers everything needed, great views, great service, great food, a beautiful property and all the amenities. I can't say enough about this fantastic resort hotel. I stay there on every possible occasion although I do not travel to the Tampa area nearly as much. St. Petersburg is also growing like crazy with new restaurants and bars appearing on a regular basis.

Booked a rather expensive room at this hotel for July 4th so that my kids and grandkids could enjoy the fireworks that are put on each year by the City of St Petersburg nearby. Upon check-in we were greeted with the attached set of rules for the day. Now I fully understand the need for crowd control that the hotel must do, but come on. A full single-spaced page of rules, some in ALL CAPS for emphasis? And you cannot have guests visit you in your room? And in case you missed this warm greeting at check-in, there was a copy of the rules waiting for you in your room. I’m sorry, but isn’t running a hotel supposed to be all about hospitality? I’ve traveled extensively throughout my life, but I’ve never felt more unwelcome than I did during my experience at The Vinoy.

One of the nicest places in Downtown St. Pete, and most of the staff are really helpful. Marchants is great for lunch, dinner or just a cocktail. I would not spend your hard earned money at Paul's Landing, limited menu, expensive and untrained immature staff. The porch is really very nice. Just pick your spots - like the pool, staff there is great, pool is nice for you and the kids and the food menu is good and reasonably priced.

Some improves are needed, specially on the historical building. I recommend to stay on the new renovated building, so good. Unfortunately the air conditioning was too cold on the room and it was impossible to stay without the ac or to increase the temperature. All the rest was great, the food and the staff were great. The swimming pool and the health club were incredible. Our family loved it!
